tian to the various points at which the

Consumption Steadily Declining.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Medical statistics from various parts
the country, notably from New Eng
land, show that consumption has greatly
declined within twenty especially with
inten-years, and that it is still steadily
declining. This is largely due, NO doubt,
to the better understanding Of health
laws and obedience thereto. Forty or
fifty years ago New England was fair.
ravaged by consumption. Whole fami
lies died of it, and hardly family could
be found in which some member or
members had not been lost from that
cause. Early puritanism had contribu-
ted indirectly to this. It's tenets were
of most gloomy and unnatural char
acter. Pleasure and physical comfort Of
every kind were to be avoided as sinful.
True religion was to be deprived of
something needful or desired. Happi-
ness in the next world was to be gained
by wretchedness in this. Hygienic laws
corresponded to the theologic doctrines.
A man to be healthy should rise from
the table hungry, 60 to bed before he
was sleepy, and get up, while he was
still sleepy. He should lodge in cold
room and seldom eat what his appetite
craved.
Such habits, pursued year after y
impoverished the blood and broke down,
the constitution, necessarily. The re-
gion was sterile, the climate severe, the
daily labor exhAusting, and these facts,
added to the privations, were little less
than deadly. No wonder consumption
slew its thousands and tens OF thousands
annually. All that has been changed.
People believe nowadays in living COM
fortably; they have found out that it is
the way Of nature. and therefore Of req
son. Consequently health is better and
consumption has greatly diminished.
They take great deal more outdoor ex-
ercise than they used to, and they fol-
low enlightened hygienic laws, Science
has come TO their aid. They are better
because they are better.

Gen. Grant At Shiloh.

Gen. Lew Wallace gives the following
pen picture of Gen. Grant as he saw him
at the battle Of Shiloh: I'm my men,
DRY he looks always exactly the same.
He rides tall, bright bay horse, with q
generals trappings. His figure, judged
through full-caped blue overcoat, is
rather low, but he keeps his saddle easily
and we'll. His hands are gauntleted
and his sword in it's scabbard. A broad
brimmed, unplumed hat is drawn down
close gron bis brow; yet I see beneath
1t ruddy face, warmed by q yellow
tinged, close cropped beard. Two clear
gray eyes look into my eyes. The thun-
der of the guns is in the air, blended
with an under monotone which the unir-
itihted would say was the noise of work
men riveting all at once the boilers Of q
thousand ocean steamers; but having
heard it often, you and I know it for
what it is-the infantry plying each
other at close range. The noise does
not disturb my horseman. He is slight
~ grim-a man appreciative and vast
interest at stake could hardly be other
wise grim, but calm, deliberate, imper.
turbable. A few words said as the
farmers discuss the crops, q pleasant
good day. and he rides away. It is
the vision in my heart photographed of
Gen. Grant, as he came to me in the
morning, then in the evening of the Sc
cond day at Shiloh. So perfect in every
detail is the figure, so distinct it's ex-
preston of face, not to mention the
sound of the voice, that I do not need
a portrait Of him-or, rather, it is all
the portrait I do need-and cherish
it as that of the greatest sold
Ter of the great war Of the age,
who, while he did me the greatest pos
sible injustice, had afterwards the mag
nanimity to reverse his opinion and do
me the greatest possible right by MAX
ing the reversal enduringly public.

How to Skeletonize Leaves.

The usual method is to soak the leaves
for long time in rain water until they
are quite decayed, but those who have
had considerable experience in the work
recommend quicker method, the i'm
mersion of the leaves in boiling aka
line solution, the time of immersion to
be regulated by the character of the
various leaves and the nature of the
epidermis to be removed. When it is
seen that the green part of the leaf is
dissolving put the leaf on a flat white
earthen plate and cover it with clear
water. Then, being gently squeezed
with the fingers, the membranes will
begin to open and the green substance
will come out at the edges. The mem
branes must be carefully taken off with
the finger, and great caution must be
used in separating them near the middle
rib. The skeletons must then be
thoroughly bleached by exposing them
to the fumes of chlorine gas. If to this
vapor be added that of peroxide of
hydrogen the fibres of the leaves are
strengthened, so that they can be readily
arranged-after being dried by pressure
between folds of tissue paper-in bou-
quets.-Boston Transcript.

to master the subject and that / should

story short, l kept at that fish for a
month, always the same answer, "very
good, but not all. How 1 hated that
fish at the end of the first week. How
it did smell! l did not want to touch it,
and flew into a rage at least a dozen
